THE ROLE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN ORGANIZATIONAL SUCCESS

Abstract

Emotional Intelligence (EI) has emerged as a pivotal factor influencing organizational success in today’s dynamic and people-centric work environments. This paper explores how key components of emotional intelligence—such as self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills—contribute to enhancing leadership effectiveness, team collaboration, and employee engagement. Organizations that prioritize EI in their culture and leadership development strategies tend to experience improved communication, reduced workplace conflicts, and higher levels of job satisfaction and performance. By integrating emotional intelligence into recruitment, training, and performance evaluation frameworks, companies can foster resilient and adaptive workforces capable of driving innovation and sustaining long-term growth. The study also highlights the role of emotional intelligence in navigating organizational change and managing stress, underscoring its strategic relevance in achieving both individual and collective success.
